General Safety Instructions

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Don’t use power tools in a dangerous environment. Don’t use power tools in

damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain.

c) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence

 ofammableliquids,gasesordust. Power tools create sparks that can ignite the

fumes or dust.

d) Keepchildrenandbystandersawaywhileoperatingapowertool.Distractions c

an cause you to lose control.

e) Make your workshop child proof. Use padlocks, master switches, or remove

starter keys.

2) Electrical safety

a) Groundelectrictools.Ifthetoolisequippedwithathree-prongplug,itmust

 bepluggedintoagroundedthree-holeelectricaloutlet. If the proper outlet is not

 available,haveoneinstalledbyaqualiedelectrician.Neverremovethethirdprongor

modify the provided plug in any way.

b) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool

increases the risk of electric shock.

c) Donotabusethecord.Neverusethecordforcarrying,pullingorunpluggingthe

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Use a proper extension cord and make sure it is in good condition. When

using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your

power tool draws. An undersized cord causes a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of

power and overheating. Table1 on the following page shows the correct cord gauge to

use depending on cord length and tool nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the

next heavier gage. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

e) Whenoperatingelectrictools,avoidbodycontactwithgroundedorearthed

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges, and refrigerators. Contact with a

grounded surface increases the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating

 apowertool.Donotuseapowertoolwhileyouaretiredorundertheinuence

of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools

can result in serious personal injury.

b) Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are not safety glasses. Safety

glasses have specially constructed lenses, frames, and side shields.

c) Usesafetyequipment. Use a face or dust mask when the cutting operation is

dusty. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropriate conditions reduces personal injuries.

d) Avoidaccidentalstarting.Makesuretheswitchisintheoff-positionbefore

plugging in.Carryingpowertoolswithyourngerontheswitchorplugginginpower

tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

e) Removeanyadjustingkeyorwrenchbeforeturningthepowertoolon.A

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool can result in personal

injury.

f) Donotoverreach.Keepproperfootingandbalanceatalltimes. This enables

better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

g) Secure workpieces. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. This is safer

than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

h) Neverstandonthemachine. Serious injury can occur if the tool tips or if the cutting

tool is unintentionally contacted.

i) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be

caught in moving parts. Roll up long sleeves to the elbow. Wear protective hair covering

to contain long hair.

j) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

 equipment,ensuretheseareconnectedandproperlyused.Use of these devices

reduces dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Keep guards in place and in working order.

b) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was

designed.

c) Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not

designed.

d) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power

tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

e) Disconnecttheplugfromthepowersourceand/orthebatterypackfromthe

 powertoolbeforemakinganyadjustments,changingaccessories,orstoring

power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power

tool accidentally.

f) Neverleaveatoolrunningunattended.Turnpoweroff. Don’t leave the tool until it

comes to a complete stop.

g) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

h) Maintainpowertools.Checkformisalignmentorbindingofmovingparts,

 brokenparts,andanyotherconditionthatcanaffectpowertooloperation.If

 damaged,havethepowertoolrepairedbeforeuse. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

i) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

j) Use the recommended speed for the cutting tool or accessory and workpiece

material.

k) Onlyusepartsandaccessoriesrecommendedbythemanufacturer.Consult

the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories can

cause personal injury.

l) Usethepowertool,accessories,andtoolbitsinaccordancewiththese

instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,

 takingintoaccounttheworkingconditionsandtheworktobeperformed. Use

of the power tool for operations different from those intended can result in a hazardous

situation.

5) Service

a) Haveyourpowertoolservicedbyaqualiedrepairpersonusingonlyidentical

replacement parts. This ensures that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

6) Safety instructions specic to using a router table tted with the

Precision Router Table Fence

a) Read, understand, and follow your router manufacturer’s safety warnings

and instructions.

b) Disconnecttherouterfrompowerbeforemakingadjustments.Neveradjust

the fence, plate, reducing rings, or any part of the router or router table while the

router is running.

c) Placetheroutertableonaatsurfacetopreventtippingorsliding.Never

stand on the router table.

d) Donotattempttoroutwarped,twisted,orbowedworkpieces.All

 workpiecesmusthaveatfacesandsquareedges.

e) Donotattempttoroutverylargeworkpiecesonaroutertable. Very large

 workpiecescanbedifculttocontrolandcancausetheroutertabletotipover.

f) Onlyuserouterbitsinyourrouter.Neverusetoolssuchascarvingburrs,

mounted abrasives, wire wheels, or drill pits, even if the shanks match the

diameter of the router collet.

g) Weargloveswhenhandlingrouterbits. Cutting edges are sharp.

h) Neverusedirty,dull,ordamagedrouterbits. Remove wood-resin build-up

 withacleanerspecicallyformulatedforcuttingtools.Havedullbitssharpenedby

 aqualiedperson.Discarddamagedbits.

i) Makesureatleast75%oftherouter-bitshanklengthissecurelyheldinthe

router collet. To ensure a secure hold, leave

1

⁄16” to

1

⁄8” (2mm-3mm) between

the end of the bit shanks and the bottom of the collet.

j) Usetheinsert-platereducingringwiththesmallestopeningthatallowsthe

Guidelines for extension cord use

Extension cords are only to be used for temporary purposes. They do not replace the

need for installation of outlets and proper wiring where necessary.

In the shop and on construction sites:

1. Extension cords with an equipment grounding conductor must be used at all times.

2. Extension cords must be protected from damage, and not run through doorways

or windows where the doors or windows can close, causing damage to the cord.

3. Extension cords must be a minimum of 16 AWG and be rated for the equipment

in use.

4. Extension cords must be periodically inspected to ensure that the insulation and

conductivity of the wires are not compromised.

5. Extension cords should not be run through water or allowed to have connections

that may be exposed to accumulated water.

Always follow bit manufacturer’s speed recommendations. Some bit designs require

specicspeedsforsafetyorperformance.

Guidelines for extension cord use

Extension cords are only to be used for temporary purposes. They do not replace the

need for installation of outlets and proper wiring where necessary.

In the shop and on construction sites:

1. Extension cords with an equipment grounding conductor must be used at all

times.

2. Extension cords must be protected from damage, and not run through doorways

or windows where the doors or windows can close, causing damage to the cord.

3. Extension cords must be a minimum of 16 AWG and be rated for the equipment

in use.

4. Extension cords must be periodically inspected to ensure that the insulation and

conductivity of the wires are not compromised.

5. Extension cords should not be run through water or allowed to have connections

that may be exposed to accumulated water.

Always follow bit manufacturer’s speed recommendations. Some bit designs require

speeds for safety or performance.

perform a two-step routing task and return the fence to the initial position.

General Routing

(A) Use the insert-plate reducing ring with the smallest opening that

allows the bit to pass through it. (B) Position the fence faces as close as

possible to the bit. Turn the bit by hand to check for interference. Firmly

tighten the fence-face T-knobs before routing. (C) Position the bit guard

over the router bit and as close to the workpiece surface as possible. (D)

Feed the workpiece against (not with) the (E) the bit rotation.

Start with the fence locked in position. Slide the adjuster against the

end of the clamp block, turning the dial so the zero mark aligns with the

bottom edge of the clamp block. Tighten the knob. When adjusting the

fence away from the micro-adjuster, release the fence and turn the dial

to the desired increment. The dial pushes the fence to the new position.

Lock the fence. When adjusting the fence toward the micro-adjuster, turn

the dial to the desired increment and tighten the knob. Unlock the fence,

push it against the micro-adjuster, and re-lock the fence.

Jointing

Remove the jointing rods (33) stored in the fence extrusion. Loosen the

outfeed fence face knobs. There are two shallow and two deep round

channels in the fence extrusion behind the fence faces. For a

Using Your Router Table Fence

Use a scrap piece of wood to test the setup. If you feed the scrap past

the bit and it runs into the leading end of the outfeed fence face, the

fence is too far forward and you’re not removing enough material. Use

the micro-adjuster to move the fence back.

If the bit gouges the scrap at the trailing edge, the fence is too far back,

and you’re removing too much material. Use the micro-adjuster to move

the fence forward.

Starting Pin

To use the starting pin, begin with your workpiece touching the pin, but

not in contact with the router bit. Slowly pivot the workpiece into the bit

until the workpiece makes contact with the bit guide bearing. Always

feed the workpiece so the router bit rotates against (not with) the feed

direction. With the workpiece in solid contact with the guide bearing,

ease the workpiece off of the starting pin and feed the workpice along

the guide bearing.

T-Slots

The fence extrusion features two T-slots, one on the top and one on the

front face. Use T-bolts to attach feather boards and stops.

Center-Reading Tape Rule

Center the fence on the router bit and use the tape rule to position stops

for routing stopped cuts.

!

WARNING Use the starting pin when routing along curved edges

and only with router bits that have a guide bearing. When routing along

straight edges, always use the fence.

Install a straight bit in the router. Place a steel ruler against the outfeed

fence face and position the fence so the bit just grazes the ruler.
